NASCAR One & Done Picks for Chicago

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will head back to the Midwest to compete at Chicagoland Speedway. This will be the 6^th race at a 1.5-mile track so we will have a lot more information to use for the picks this week. The track is bumpy and usually puts on a good show. The race we saw at Kansas Speedway should be similar to what we see in Chicago. The Camping World 400 can be seen Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network (Yes, NBC Sports Network. Not Fox…so make sure you have the right channel).

My goal every year in the One & Done game is to have an average finishing position of 15^th or better from my drivers. Michael McDowell did not do anything to help me reach my goal with his 25^th place finish. Road courses are unpredictable so I plan to do much better this week at the 1.5-mile oval track.

Here are my picks for Chicagoland Speedway…

*Pick Driver Once*			*Pick Driver Twice*
Race	Driver	Result	Race	Driver	Result
Daytona	Jamie McMurray	22^nd	Daytona	Jamie McMurray	22^nd
Atlanta	Aric Almirola	8^th	Atlanta	Aric Almirola	8^th

Texas	Jimmie Johnson	5^th	Texas	Joey Logano	17^th

Richmond	Kyle Busch	8^th	Richmond	Kyle Busch	8^th

Michigan	Erik Jones	31^st	Michigan	Clint Bowyer	35^th
Sonoma	Michael McDowell	25^th	Sonoma	Kurt Busch	13^th
Chicago	Alex Bowman	?	Chicago	Alex Bowman	?

My One & Done pick this week will be Alex Bowman. The No. 88 was one of the fastest cars in both practices Saturday. Bowman posted the 8^th fastest speed in final practice with the 3^rd fastest 10-lap average speed. Bowman finished 2^nd and 7^th in his last 2 races on 1.5-mile tracks. I expect another top-10 finish from him Sunday.

Good luck this week!
